Every now and again when I hear about a natural disaster or emergency in some part of the world, I think to myself that it really is time to make sure that my own household and family are prepared for a worst case scenario. I do a little bit toward that goal and then time passes and the urge to be really ready falls away.

Here is chance to for all of us to be inspired to take action while we can, to learn what "being ready" means, and how to get there.

Thank you to AARP for putting this together and sharing the information.
